Hi,
As you have itching problem only in summer, then it may be due to sweating or humidity followed by fungal infection. As fungal infection flourishes in humidity.
You can apply Ketoconazole ointment and take tablet Loratidine for itching. Kindly maintain proper hygiene. Take bath after coming from outside.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
